What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Civil society organizations have questioned the financing of five private visits made by the President to South Africa on October 30, 2026. These visits cumulatively kept the President abroad for more than 72 days. The organizations are demanding that the Office of the President and Cabinet and relevant public financial authorities clarify whether the trips were financed privately or by the State.
